I was thinking brake pad shifts, which is normal on honda cars. if it's axle nuts it would be more like a "POP" noise.

is there a way to distinguish between a "pop" and a "click" noise. clearly the "pop" will be louder but i dont have anything to compare it to

That's from Honda.
Install the new spindle nut, then tighten the nut. After tightening, use a drift to stake the spindle nut shoulder against the driveshaft.

i use chisel and hammer
